Item Description
The Director's Tour Experience at President Lincoln's Cottage provides a unique and very personal look at President Abraham Lincoln and his time in residence at the Cottage. Upon your arrival, you will be welcomed by the Director in the Robert H. Smith Visitor Education Center. After a brief orientation, the Director will lead the group on an in-depth, private Cottage tour. The Cottage tour is followed by another private, driving tour of the Soldiers' Home grounds with the Director. A specially prepared gift basket filled with items from the museum store completes this memorable experience.
Commemorate the 2009 Lincoln bicentennial with this exclusive tour of President Lincoln's Cottage. Located on a picturesque hilltop in Washington, DC, President Lincoln's Cottage is the most significant historic site directly associated with Lincoln's presidency aside from the White House.
